The Rejected Writers' Book Club by Suzanne Kelman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
What a charming book!
A club that collects rejection letters from publishers. A bunch of crazy ladies that are null at writing.
Anyway, charming ladies in improbable but hilarious situations. Imagine someone traveling with all her cooking utensils and ingredients? That's the way it goes.
It's also a very beautiful story of friendship and helping one another, among all the disasters that can happen on a road trip from Washington State to California.
I have to confess I almost tossed the book after reading the first chapters. I'm glad I didn't, but I do think the book needed some more editing (I read a galley of this book). There is too much description: the town, the shops, the people, what they are wearing and there are many repetitive words and phrases.
Everybody is quaint and there doesn't seem to be a normal looking person at first.
Anyway, I'm so happy I finished it, as it was a very pleasant, light, hopeful books.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
